[cod] 1.3 patch - Contact Activision

[David@Game-Serve.co.uk]

got a reply back form IW looks to be a bit better than the one you got Jeff

David;
Thank you for your email. We do not actually develop for Linux and therefore 
do not develop the patches for Linux servers. This is done by a 3rd party 
commissioned by Activision; hence the delay between the Windows patch which 
we develop and the Linux patches. It is my understanding however that the 
Linux patch is currently being developed by that third party and will 
hopefully be released in the near future.

I really appreciate your email and will make sure your concerns [in regards 
to Linux and windows patches being released at the same time] are heard and 
taken into consideration for future development. Please let me know if there 
is anything else I can help you with. Thanks!

The reply would be humerous, if not so damned pathetic ...

My question was about the timing of a release, answering that you can
not comment on a release until it is out does not apply.
I happen to know that the 1.3 Linux patch has been delivered to you.
I also happen to notice that your download page still has version 1.0
Linux release. Does this mean that theere is no 1.2 or 1.3 Linux update?
Will you make an effort to support Linux dedicated server when making
updates? Releasing an update of all platforms at one time would result
in much less confusion.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.  Unfortunately, we cannot answer questions
about a game or patch until it has been released. All new game
information is available on the website or in our press releases.

We have been waiting patiently for the release of the Linux 1.2 cod2,
and now there is a 1.3 update. You really should release all ports of
your upgrades at one time to maintain your customer's sanity.
When can we expect the 1.3 Linux version?
Will you make an effort to support Linux dedicated server when making
updates? Your customers would love you for it!
